Yeah, clear as mud, which I believe is Intels intention, for whatever reason; more confusion means more unnecessary purchases perhaps. Anyway, if AMD plays is cards right, it could take the Intel confusion as an advantage, but I guess AMD often doesn't play its cards right, I mean they don't even have an advertising campaign for gods sake.]]>Jul 15th 2009 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
Maybe I'm just getting old, or maybe the scene really has changed now, but I've not needed to buy a new CPU for about 5 years - my Athlon X2 is still going strong, and the only reason I'd change it anytime soon is if it or the motherboard dies. Then surely you just upgrade to something mid-range (nice balance of power and price) and you're set for another half a decade.

Yeah, it's nice that Intel (and AMD to a lesser extent) are always innovating and bringing new stuff out, but I can't really see any hype in it anymore.]]>Jul 15th 2009 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
So yeah, I'm following the latest and greatest, in hopes of maximizing the lifetime of my next CPU. :)]]>Jul 15th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
Whowouldathunk.

Personally I am MORE than satisfied with my i7 920 OC, I can render at 1920x1200 in about a minute now. Large enough for prints and for digital display (yay). Would have taken my previous computer 12 hours (pentium celeron D) to do the same thing.]]>Jul 15th 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
Whowouldathunk indeed. I realise there are some applications which require as much processing power as they can lay their hands on, but with the relatively small gains compared to the massively higher costs that comes with the very bleeding edge of processors, there can't be that many applications which makes that worth it.

And in fact, you proved my point by stating that your $300 processor is plenty for you - you can render stuff in a minute. For an extra $500 you could get the latest and greatest and shave maybe 5-10 seconds off that. Is that worth another $500?]]>Jul 15th 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
Make up your mind, are you arguing the fact that its not worth it to buy higher end lines of current gen CPUs or that it is not worht it to upgrade at all to new platforms and architectures?

Either way you dont understand that people's needs are different than yours, and artists need a lot of CPU power to either transcode video or render animations.

Dont ever go against advancement of technology just because you dont have the money or need for it]]>Jul 15th 2009 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
Now-in-days though a new processor isn't nearly as exciting...I just bought a new laptop recently (core 2 duo 2.4 GHz) and while i know it is a laptop and all...but my desktop is still faster then it (both running windows 7).

Yes, its great to see innovation, but in the majority of applications...we have the fundamental math processing in a good place now....I get far more excited when I see upgrades to specialized chips coming out (GPU, Physics cards), Personally would like to see more innovation in the integration of components arena then in actual CPU speed...because no matter how fast your CPU is, it can only be as fast as the components it is talking to.]]>Jul 15th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
Yes I have, my HD camera shoots it, and yes it's dog slow on my processor. And as I said above, the several-hundred dollar premium that the bleeding edge processor attracts still isn't worth the extra few % of speed.]]>Jul 15th 2009 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
I just got myself a Dell Studio XPS with a Core i7 inside. Is nice.]]>Jul 15th 2009 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
If those features don't mean anything to you, you'll probably be happy with the 8400s.]]>Jul 15th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/
I really wonder how much of a improvement the i7-960 is over the i7-950? Not that it matters much, since I already decided to build a system with the i7-920, i really don't more power than that. I really wish Intel would release more power efficient i7 CPUs that aren't underpowered compared to the i7-900s; like how the i7-800s compare to i7-900s. ]]>Jul 15th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/Jul 15th 2009 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/leaked-intel-roadmap-specs-upcoming-core-i5-and-i7-lynnfield-c/I'm sure the 6 core Gulftown processors are Extreme Edition only, so price will be about $1000.

Now this is where I get confused: why the heck does Intel have so many different CPUs stated for release in Q1 2010. The i7-920 will continue to be available, while the i7-960 will replace the i7-950, so it doesn't seem like the i7-800s are meant to replace them. Then there's the i5 and i3 CPUs. Is it really necessary to have so many different varies on the market at the same time?! Well, it's good for the consumer but it seems like a bad decision (in terms of money) for Intel. Then again, I'm basing this off the roadmap.]]>Jul 15th 2009 11:44PM
